GEORGE ROBERTS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA PAWL.

SFECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,097, dated November 18, 1884.

ADnlication filed April 5, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE RoBERTs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pawls, of which the following is a specification.

This invention refers to pawls which are especially adapted to take up motions on looms; and the invention consists in providing the pawl with a steel or iron which is connected to the main body of the pawl in any well-known manner;

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved pawl; Fig. 2 is a top View thereof. Fig. 3 is a bottom View thereof. Fig. Ais an end View thereof. Figs.

5 and 6 are side and bottom views of a modified form.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the main body or stock of the pawl, of the usual form, and which is constructed of cast-iron. A curved or bent plate, B, is secured to the lip end of the body or stock A by countersunk headed screws 0 O, substantially in the manner shown.

Now, this invention has for its object the effective Working of catchpawl and the longcontinued wearing of the same.

In the pawl as now constructed the same is made of cast-iron, and is therefore liable to become entirely useless by the breaking off of and. when this occurs it is at this time thatthe invention herein described becomes valuable, for an old and inoperative pawl supplied with this addition is not only rendered valuable, but is made to answer for a new pawl at much less expense and of far' greater service. The bent plate of steel or iron of the shape shown, and secured in the manner described, will substantially preserve'the use of the main body or stock at a very little additional cost.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is L A pawl as described, the same provided with a separate piece of steel or iron forming a lip or engaging end for the same, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
